Chapter 299: Rushing to Venice and Placing Bet
Although the Middle East war zone could not be at peace forever, with this trick, it could at least be at peace for a few years. As long as there was the temptation of the resurrection magic, both warring parties would try their best to please Asharuya with peace.
The significance of the resurrection magic is undoubtedly far-reaching, and no one can refuse a second chance to survive.
After helping Asharuya create a miracle, Xu Fan bid farewell to Asharuya and went to the end point of the National Palace Competition, the water city of Venice, where the final will be held.
If it were before, Asharuya would definitely want to join the Greek team and try to win the championship, but now she has seen the facts clearly, so she decided not to ask for trouble.
And Xu Fan is becoming more and more important in her heart. If she wants to continue to maintain her identity as a goddess, she must have Xu Fan's help.
Moreover, she has only obtained a little more than half of the support of the Parthenon now. If she wants to unite everyone and completely obtain the position of goddess, she must go to the Parthenon to cast the resurrection spell once more!
Xu Fan was well aware of this, after all, one of the rewards for the National Palace Championship was to go to the Parthenon to receive blessings.
If the Divine Seal Ceremony is presided over by the Goddess, the improvement will be up to twice as much. Even if it is presided over by the Temple Mother, the improvement will be up to 1.5 times.
Moreover, the improvement in strength is not just a simple multiplication, but an improvement on the original multiple bonus of the soul seed.
Xu Fan possesses a heavenly seed. No matter whether it is the plant-type heavenly seed or the fire-type heavenly seed, the improvement he gets from it is fourteen times that of the big heavenly seed. And this is not their limit. If two kinds of heavenly seeds are used at the same time, the bonus effect of each can be increased to sixteen times!
If you add in the huge attack power bonus of gold-based auxiliary spells, then every spell will have a terrifying bonus that is close to that of forbidden magic!
Xu Fan was still very much looking forward to this God Seal Praise, but he didn't know whether Pamishi, the Mother of the Parthenon Temple whose real identity was actually the Pope of the Black Church, could complete the God Seal Praise for him. After all, his current strength level was no less than that of her, a veteran wizard.
When Xu Fan arrived in Venice, Mo Fan had just completed the advancement of the Old Wolf. The original intermediate-level Old Wolf successfully advanced to the commander-level Glacier Armored Wolf. Its strength was greatly improved, almost catching up with Mo Fan who did not use the power of the Fire Witch.
"Hi, here I come!"
Zhao Manyan greeted Xu Fan with a smile. Now the whole team was full of fighting spirit. They had been training for a year, and the improvement they had made in this year was greater than that in the past many years.
All of this is thanks to Xu Fan. Not to mention using the power of the Heavenly Seed to help them improve their cultivation, just taking them on a tour of the Amazon was a favor that is difficult to repay.
Now they are no longer thinking about how to win the championship, that is too easy for them. Each of them is looking forward to the start of the game and then showing off their skills in front of others.
The National Government Competition is broadcast live all over the world. It can be said that anyone who performs outstandingly will immediately become famous. In addition, the champion will be awarded a national award, which means they can gain both fame and fortune.
"What are the odds now?"
Xu Fan asked with a smile. He was about to create his own power, so he had to make more money before that. Obviously, the bet in the National Government Competition was a good opportunity.
"Hey, the odds on us winning the championship are 3 to 1, and the odds on you winning the MVP are 5 to 1!"
Zhao Manyan smiled secretly. It could be said that the entire team was betting on these two results. After all, no matter how the others performed, these two results were already determined.
"Only 50-1? What about the one who bet on Ai Jiangtu?"
Xu Fan frowned. He was already thinking about whether to have a fake match.
"One to five is already very low. Ai Jiangtu is about the same as you, and the captains of the five major national teams have the same odds. After all, everyone speculates that the champion will only come from these five teams!" Zhao Manyan saw that Xu Fan was a little dissatisfied and hurriedly explained that some of Xu Fan's strength had been leaked, which meant that the dealer behind the bet could not be fully confirmed, otherwise Xu Fan's odds would probably continue to be pushed down.
The war hasn't started yet. If it officially starts, the odds of their Huaguo National Team and Xu Fan's personal odds will definitely drop.
Fortunately, the odds will not change with the performance of each team after the bet is placed, so the best time to bet is before the game starts.
"Well, then, help me transfer all the money in these two bank cards to me!"
Xu Fan sighed and handed his small treasury to Zhao Manyan. He really didn't care how much money was in it, but it might already be in the tens of digits.
"Haha, leave this little thing to me!"
Zhao Manyan smiled. Xu Fan placed the bet himself, so the MVP was certain. However, after he put all of Xu Fan's money in, Xu Fan's odds dropped directly to 1 to 3.5.
Everyone on the Guofu team was thankful that they had placed their bets in advance, otherwise they would have lost half of their money.
The Zhao family was behind the gambling, but Zhao Manyan did not feel guilty about making money from his family. Instead, he felt a little regretful that he did not have enough money and could not help the family to produce more gold coins.
Zhao Manyan had no intention of competing with his brother Zhao Youqian for the position of head of the family, but he still had the idea of earning some pocket money, and it was a strong one.
As the finals were approaching, many national government teams rushed to Venice, but they all fell silent. No one wanted their intelligence to be leaked before the game even started.
But Xu Fan became active. He secluded himself for several days, condensed several groups of holy springs, and then studied the teams of various national governments one by one. He wanted to find an ally in advance for the force he would establish in the future.
But after much tossing and turning, Xu Fan finally set his sights on Grand Duke Irene from the British National Team.
It can be said that among the many teams, the most prominent one is Grand Duchess Irene, that is because she is a woman, otherwise she might be a little prince.
Moreover, after a few days of observation, although this Grand Duke Irene always gave him a silly feeling, Xu Fan knew that this person was actually very smart and did things in an orderly manner, which did not hide her identity as the Grand Duke of England.
People like this are actually very difficult to approach. Given her status, if you visit her rashly, she will definitely look down on you, and you may even be regarded as a villain who is trying to curry favor with the powerful.
But after careful observation, Xu Fan discovered that Irene actually had some hidden power. For example, she had a companion dragon by her side. Although it could only be a sub-dragon at most, it was already very rare. If it were released to the outside world, it might even be called a real dragon.
So that night, Xu Fan turned into a shadow and sneaked into the area where the British government team lived under the cover of darkness.
